A person in Lithuania has been diagnosed to have the UK variant of the coronavirus, the Health Ministry confirmed on Monday.
According to the ministry s spokesman, the person is a woman from Vilnius who tested positive for the coronavirus in early January.
Her sample was sent for genome sequencing to a laboratory in Roterdam, the Netherlands. “On January 27, the National Public Health Laboratory received a confirmation that the sample contained the variant of SARS-CoV-2 with the B.1.1.7 mutation,” Vytautas Beniušis told BNS.
The woman most probably got the virus from a family member diagnosed with the disease earlier, according Lithuania s National Public Health Centre (NVSC), and had not travelled abroad before testing positive.
